Introduction

As reported in our August OFS Newsletter, Energy M&A sentiment is increasing.Evidencing this, we have seen a slew of transactions announced in recent weeks.

This recent optimism is being manifested by the sustainedand steady increase in rig counts, oilfield activity, and oil prices, but the underlying driverof these results is a combination of a number of other positive factors. These factorsinclude a change in OPEC’s position and resilient demand fundamentals.

any signs of recovery at this stage is in Asia.”

Improving Fundamentals and Changing OPEC Position

With oil prices steadying and rig counts consistently increasing, the oil and gas industry isreaching a point of stability that is giving comfort to investors and operators. A catalyst forthe recent optimism is OPEC’s changing position in the global market. Historically, the cartelhas utilized their internal production levels to control global pricing, and they were successfulin driving prices down for the past two years by oversupplying the market. The long-termsuccess of this strategy is now being called into question. With OPEC operating at near maxcapacity, even the Saudi’s are feeling the pain of low prices in their declining revenues. OPECappears to be coming to terms with the resilience of U.S. energy and that their strategy mayin fact be furthering their problems. Michael McDonald of Oilprice.com commented, “OPECseems to have finally accepted the fact that they are not as strong as they once were, andthat the market forces behind unconventional production in the U.S., Canada, and abroad arenot as weak as OPEC had supposed. While a few U.S. firms have been bankrupted by the lastfew years, those bankruptcies have only served to strengthen top tier players in the space.”Another recent data point supporting this idea is Saudi Arabia’s $17.5Bn bond sale. The WallStreet Journal noted in an article on October 19, “sale is biggest-ever emerging-market debtissue; comes as kingdom works to keep economy afloat as oil income dwindles.” Withindustry fundamentals solidifying, U.S. energy proving its resilience and wherewithal toinnovate, the chances of a “lower for longer” scenario seems less likely.

The Opportunity

Due to the nearly two-year decline in the industry, many oilfield service companies are in a challenged state. And theunderlying hope is that the market recovery will begin increasing revenues and lifting margins. That hope materialized inHalliburton’s recent earnings release, which surprised analysts as the Company turned a profit in Q3. OFS companies thathave made it this far have accomplished an impressive feat and are likely coming out of the woods of the downturn. But,while they may be well on their way to riding the cycle back up, an even larger opportunity for growth exists in the form oftaking market share. A company that can take market share in a growing market will go from riding revenue growth to drivingit. These leap frog moves over hobbled competitors will fast track revenues as the market returns. Calculated bets will haveto be made on actions such as new hires, upgraded equipment, aggressive pricing, and even new locations. Some moves canbe difficult to consider as wounds are still fresh on the minds of most operators, but those who can capitalize should behandsomely rewarded come time for an exit. This window of opportunity, although recently opening, may close fast.

Example OFS Company Market Share and Revenue through the Cycle

Note: This analysis was performed using Spears & Associates recent data and projections for newly completed domestic oilwells and Founders’ assumptions for market share. Revenue in projected years assumes an amount of spend captured pernewly completed domestic oil wells and a subsequent improvement in pricing to pre-cycle norms.

Recent M&A Activity

Conclusion

Industry fundamentals and a shift in OPEC’s position have brought about a strong change in sentiment on the industryoutlook. This sentiment is bringing about a more subtle change in the industry that is luring investors back to the table andgiving operators more transaction options and liquidity. Now is a good time to reevaluate your situation and assessopportunities in order to capitalize on a return in the oil and gas industry.
